Editor's info:
In Ketil's own words, "A nightwalker can hold an entire life in his head as he walks. This suite is based on both dreams and experiences, states of mind that we all have, with their sudden changes and often with a dramatic arc that we don't understand because we can only understand in retrospect what happened and why things went the way they did. The entire suite was written over the course of the winter, spring and summer of 2022, that dark year that none of us had foreseen.

Even before we moved to Frogner Plass in 1967, I loved to go out at night. Especially in autumn, when the wind blew and the leaves fell from the trees, but also in the winter, spring and summer nights, often in the streets of Oslo or near one of the cottages in Eftang, a coastal paradise between Sandefjord and Larvik, where a young girl I was very interested in was vacationing with her family. Knut Hamsun wrote the novel Dreamer, and I was then, as I am now, undoubtedly a dreamer, soaking up all impressions from nature, where I spent time alone and had thoughts that I could not quite understand myself. Besides, music was my constant companion. When Frogner Park became my closest neighbor in 1967 and in the following years, I walked among Gustav Vigeland's sculptures up to the Monolith, the highest point of the park, where the human bodies carved in stone climb up, higher and higher: an evolution of Munch's Human Mountain, who didn't like his colleague copying him. But there, at the top of the park, I had a view of the city, the spire of Uranienborg Church, and Ekeberg hill. I could look across the fjord to Nesodden and watch the lights of the last flights landing at Fornebu, the old atmospheric airport with a runway that extended into the water. What was I doing up there at that vantage point, often all alone? I was a lonely night hiker.

I often dream that I still walk at night, but mostly in the landscape of music.

January 2023 came. The snow came. Catharina went to our garden by Bunnefjorden and took a photo of the young blackbird sitting in a fruit tree, whose beak had not yet turned yellow. For me this was a greeting from the past, from Brahms, from Frogner Plass and Frogner Park from those days. Blackbird singing in the middle of the night....

CD2 contains the "Nightwalker" suite, played on the classic Fender Rhodes piano sent through an equally classic Leslie, which creates this almost ghostly intensity and a unique atmosphere that gives the suite a very different mood.
Reviews
"Atmospherically dense yet with an almost ghostly piano sound, this is how Bjørnstad takes listeners into the night." (GoodTimes, October/November 2023)
